I always cross the broken lines at bus lanes.

Coming to a junction where a left turn is possible, the lights are red and the bus lane is empty, I will go up the inside, wait for the lights to go green, accelerate away ahead of the car in the lane to my right and pull in front of him before the broken buslane becomes solid.

Is this illegal?

I think it depends on the road markings at the junction. Some will indicate that the left lane is left turning and straight ahead traffic, others will indicate that it's left-turning only.
